And he had to buy his own boots from the first JJB in Blackburn near the market he told me and few of us in a pub one night

off topic again took lad for his new footie boots and it made me think about my frist per of boots . Puma Dalglish sliver

just off topic anybody know what season tickets where sold the season we went down from the premiership

lf the two lads come in, we will go too three at the back German lad is right footed and can play center as well as right back and other lad can play across the back line

I hope its two new defenders and lets leave the kid at Man city alone we need men at the back who will put there head in . I hope this comes off get them in Tony lad

What pees me off on this board is the obsession with what a player cost . Too me this doesn't matter i just want the Rovers too be competitive on the field of play . And if a player is going for silly money its the way the game has gone . I'm more concerned with Tony getting players in to the club and giving us some hope

Does anybody know how much Blackpool are offering for Nuttall

lets be positive its Sunday and where being linked with a central defender . Lets leave the negatives till tomorrow when Tony denies it

Works either way you can swap around and Grahams only 70 minutes player now Gallagher should be pushing Graham this season

German defenders know how to defend Huddersfield went down this road and it worked for them . I hope this happens and he can play right back as well

Now thats exciting and would work

Travis and Buckley with Johnson behind them and Dack at the top of the Diamond . These lads should be allowed too grow and this won't happen until Evans and Smallwood are out of the picture

ha ha brilliant

Good now go and get some experience defenders in, a big strong leader at CB and soiled RB who can get up and down and defend . And then we can all sit down and enjoy the season

His Tony too safe in his job ? and if he really gives it a real go will he be found out. And his this way he seems too never really address the weaknesses of the team . Ever manager knows that you build a team from the back and after last season it was clear to see that we needed reinforcements. A big strong leader at CB a proper RB and LB but its looking like Bennett and Bell and a kid from City will be it . So its another season of missed opportunities gutted before a balls been kicked

If Tony doesn't come out at the end of last season and tell us all he knows where the problems are ie the defenders . And it will be addressed in the summer then brings midfielders in then fans have ever right too be concerned . Hes making the problem for himself and fans have the right too be worried and some do kick off because of being frustrated . I would say too Tony don't lead us on with promises action speak louder than words

I'm gutted that Smallwood , Evans and Bennett are shoe ins . And Buckley , Butterworth will be loaned out sorry too say it but big Tony as took us as for as he can. We are crying out for a big strong center half who could boss the back four a right back and left back who could defend and get forward . But it doesn't look like Tony who was a big strong center half himself cant see it . I'm very frustrated that with a better manager with abit of know how could get that bit extra out of the squad and at least get us challenging but i can't see this happening

i wish he would loses interest in him . Where 3 weeks into per season and he's on his jollies

Look Raya was poorer last season and 3million in January and i would have drove him there my self . The one worry is whose coming in for him its very quiet wake up big T get somebody in

Tony his so in bedded with the Venkys now that what ever happens this season and who ever he signs or sells it will not make a difference . I really hope he gets lucky and it all works out but we've need three good defenders and he's signing midfielders . I do worry about the club when a manager has a chairman for a mate and owners who still don't understand football

I hope we see players brought in too the club in the Summer but with lastest news on loses i can't see it . I wish somebody would buy the club but unfortunately it looks like where stuck with the Venkys

Massive rebuild in summer unfortunately i'm losing faith with Tony and his blind faith in Smallwood, Williams, Bennett ,Conway and Evans its peeing me off . We need big nasty defenders who will put there head in where it hurts and left and right back with pace and brains and a real ball winning midfielder who can go box too box .

Tony having a go at Rothwell on Radio Lancashier but Williams doesn't get a mention what a poor player this guy his if he still here next season i'm worried for us. Evans, Smallwood , Conway must go aswell we need two or three big strong center halves and a left and right back going forward where not that far off we can score goals

unfortunately theres not many leaders in football today. More skill and technique with the modern players

Why we need two center halves because Mulgrew and Rodwell are not center halves they are midfield players round holes square pegs again
